Ramona quips that she's losing patience with Kelly because as we all know, Ramona is known for her patience. But to my surprise she did give Kelly a real apology for the text and the two did dress for one another so I guess all is well.

Sonja summons Cindy to her home to teach her the ways of the pecking order among the housewives. Sonja says it's her "motherly instinct" kicking in. Wow. I'd hate to be her daughter. The tone of their visit is anything but motherly. It's more of a smackdown.

"None of us wanted to go to Quogue" she tells Cindy. They only did it because of Ramona and then Cindy had the gall to disrespect Ramona by not having her Pinot. "Ramona Singer's a star." Oh Lord.

Ramona and Cindy's talk goes no better but isn't quite as comical. Apparently Ramona doesn't leave her home if there isn't Pinot at her destination. I'm beginning to wonder if she is in need of a twelve step program. Not for alcohol, for rudeness and an over inflated ego.

Ramona obviously didn't think Cindy's party was good enough for her but then Luann looks down her nose at Ramona's soiree. "I didn't realize it was a Mary Kay party." Ramona's True Faith jewelry is most certainly not to the Countess' standards. Always great to see one pretentious snob take down another.

Did you catch Sonja's outfit for the ASPCA calendar? Was the teacher of social propriety going to perform at a bachelor party afterwards or does she have a side job as a pole dancer? Apparently the ASPCA's new calendar has more of an adults only theme this year.

Alex and Simon get their son a piano for his birthday. Of course the little tot takes lessons from a graduate of Julliard. I wouldn't expect anything less. As Alex gushes about what a magical moment this is, the kid alternates between looking bored and nervous about the strange man playing the instrument.

The new piano is beautiful, expensive, and fits perfectly with the decor. As the shiny black surface shows every finger print, Simon tells the boys not to touch it. Hmm. Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose. Oh, nevermind.

Finally we have the pow wow between Jill and Alex. Maybe Jill did reassess things while she was in Australia because her apology to Alex was as honest and heartfelt as I've ever seen her. But it's only been one episode. I don't think I'll be putting any money on it lasting for two. These are the housewives we're talking about.

Follow Jill Zarin?

Sonja has become the most unlikable housewife this year. She's such a know-it-all, and her "pecking order" is absurd. Also, she needs to realize she's not 21 anymore & act her age. She makes a complete ass out of herself around men.

As far out as Simon & Alex can be, to me they have the most real relationship out of everyone. I liked Sonja last season, but this season she is screaming for attention. She is a little too ripe to be showing her bottom etc. She has enough money to never have to lift a finger the rest of her life but she is so attention starved it's sickening.

I love them all. Jill is my favorite and the least snobbish. LuAnn on the other hand aught to get over "the Countess" thing. We don't have royalty in the U.S. You have no title here missy. Bethanny is one ugly looking woman. God help her. Ramona is another favorite. Kelly aught to forget about this show, she just isn't handling it well. Sometimes the money ain't worth the hassle.
